The world of sword and magic

Chapter 18 Escape

Navit waited anxiously for the return of Schiller and Saber Maniac. He looked at the sun in the sky and realized that only an hour had passed, but he had the illusion that time had stood still.

But he didn't rush into the cave impulsively. After all, Schiller hadn't been away for too long, not to mention that trespassing would be tantamount to sending himself to death, so he could only silently pray that Schiller and Saber Maniac would return safely. .

On the other hand, after Schiller and Dao Kuang left the dungeon, they only briefly talked about the situation after the farewell along the way. The atmosphere was a bit oppressive, but Schiller didn't try to break the situation, or he didn't know how to break the current situation.

Dao Kuang's expression is very wrong, Schiller can clearly see Dao Kuang's preoccupation, but if Dao Kuang doesn't want to talk, he will not take the initiative to ask, Schiller is very clear about some things, should not and cannot take the initiative I went to ask.

"Schiller, do you have a map of the secret passage? Can you give me the map?" Dao Kuang said suddenly.

"Okay." Schiller took out the map and handed it to Knife Maniac.

Dao Kuang silently looked at the map carefully drawn by Qingdie and the upright and elegant handwriting on it, and suddenly shed tears in a daze.

"Captain..." Schiller wanted to say something comforting, but he couldn't say anything. After all, he didn't know anything about the past between Sword Maniac and Qingdie, and he didn't know how to solve Sword Maniac.

"That idiot Qingdie, if something really happens to him... can I feel at ease? That idiot!" Dao Kuang roared a little out of control, but quickly recovered his emotions, folded the map and handed it back to the seat Le, "...Schiller, let's move on."

On the road afterwards, Dao Kuang didn't speak again, and Schiller didn't speak, but the heavy and depressing atmosphere just now had dissipated a lot. On the way, Dao Kuang couldn't help but fell into memories.

"This will be your home from now on, Sword Maniac. The long-haired young man who looked a bit indifferent said, "I am Qingdie, you can find me next door if you need anything, and get along well with other children." 』

The young Dao Kuang nodded silently. It wasn't until later that he realized that the young man named Qingdie was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, and he liked children very much. He took care of the orphans taken in by the organization; In private, the children call Black Scorpion "Father" and Qing Die "Mother". Although it is a little impolite to think so, Dao Kuang thinks that title is quite suitable for Qing Die...

But there seems to be something weird, does this mean that they are a couple?Dao Kuang suddenly turned cold at such a thought, although it is not impossible, but I always feel that it is a kind of scary family, no, it should be said that the father is a black scorpion, which is terrible... But the mother is Qingdie, which is completely acceptable ( ?) Finding that his thinking logic was a little weird, Dao Kuang shook his head violently, which made Schiller look at him with a confused face, but he still didn't ask anything after all, and Dao Kuang fell into the vortex of memories again.

Qingdie would occasionally take him out with other children. Apart from outings, the most frequent place to go was the Adventurer's Guild in Colonnar. The service lady there seemed to be Qingdie's old acquaintance, and she was a very gentle woman.

I hope Qingdie will be fine, Dao Kuang thought so, he really didn't know what would happen to Black Scorpion if he knew that Qingdie handed over the map of the organization to outsiders, but it would definitely not be a good thing.

Before they knew it, Schiller and Dao Kuang had left the secret passage and came outside the organization.

"Captain! Schiller!" Seeing that Schiller and Dao Kuang returned safely, Navet shouted excitedly.

"Navitte!" Schiller excitedly rushed over to hug Navitt, "Are you alright?"

"Of course!" Navitt replied, realizing that Daokuang was looking at the interaction between the two of them with a slightly deep smile, and even Navitt couldn't help but blush, "Ah, Captain, long time no see!"

"It's been a long time since I saw you. It's good to see that both of you are fine." Dao Kuang said sincerely. In fact, he has been very worried about what terrible things the black scorpion will do. Fortunately, at least so far, Schiller and Navitt have nothing to do .

"Captain," Schiller said, "let's go to the carriage first, and discuss what we should do next."

Dao Kuang nodded, he had been refitted on the way to escape, and turned into a very ordinary-looking short brown hair, but it was not the original appearance of Benois in disguise—because Black Scorpion already recognized that appearance .

After getting into the carriage, the group of people continued on their way non-stop, until they were a long distance away from the Black Scorpion's organization, and they stopped temporarily to rest by the side of the road.

"Captain, do you have any plans?" Schiller asked.

Dao Kuang thought for a while, "I originally planned to go to Kanal to sell these goods, but of course it doesn't work now, firstly, it deviates too far from the original route, secondly, Black Scorpion also knows about this matter, So it’s better to go to Condil, it’s already deep into the human realm, and it’s unlikely that the black scorpion will catch up.” If there is no special need, usually no demons will travel to a human country, not to mention that the black scorpion is an internationally wanted criminal .

In fact, the town of Colonna is the closest demon town to the Black Scorpion organization, and it is not too far from the border between the human kingdom and the demon kingdom. The town was a month's journey away, and by the way if they wanted to turn back to Kanal it would take more than twice as long.

"Kandil? I'm fine, but for Navitt..." Schiller looked at Navitt.

Navitt's demon identity is a serious problem in itself. Although the war has ended for many years, there are still sporadic conflicts between humans and demons at the border from time to time. Therefore, most humans hate demons very much. Let demonic guests stay, which may even cause them to be attacked by humans who hate demons on the way.

"Don't worry about me," Navet patted his chest and assured, "Don't look at me like this, I also have magical props with illusions. As for things like fake identities, it is common for adventurers! I have always prepared I have obtained several different identity passes!"

"..." Is that the behavior of normal adventurers?How come it sounds more like a criminal, Schiller wanted to complain, but he didn't say anything after all.

Even the ex-killer Dao Kuang couldn't help shaking his head. It seemed that this trip would cause a lot of gray hair on his head...but the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

"Give me a few minutes of disguise, I'll be back later, I guarantee you will be surprised!" Navitt hurried out of the carriage with his luggage to change, and came back a few minutes later.

"How is it? You admire me!" A human youth with the same strange appearance and attire said triumphantly.

"Are you really Navitt?" Schiller was a little skeptical, "Isn't this body shape too different?" Even the appearance is very different, the characteristics of the demons have completely disappeared, and there is a young man with light golden short curly hair in front of him. Some bookish, frail physique is not at all like the strong Navitt, and the full set of metal armor that Navitt originally wore has also been replaced by a lightweight armor that is made of leather and metal, and the metal part only covers the vitals and joints, but that The tone of this speech is indeed that of Navitt. It seems that Navitt has invested a lot in illusion magic props and disguise equipment.

"Schiller, of course! You should go and disguise yourself too! You should have prepared disguise props, right? It will be even more difficult for the black scorpion to find us." Navet said.

"That's true, but you can't laugh at me! Absolutely not!" Schiller reminded me so cautiously for some reason.

On the contrary, Knife Maniac and Navitt were very curious about what Schiller was going to look like. They saw that Schiller had left for a long time and did not come back. When Navitt was about to go outside to check the situation, he suddenly heard Schiller's voice. .

"I'm going in, you can't laugh, it's not that I like to dress up like this, because my grandfather gave me the phantom magic necklace, and he also picked out the clothes."

When Schiller walked into the carriage, Daokuang and Navitt held their breath for an instant, and stared at Schiller dumbfounded.

"Damn! It's weird for me to be a woman, isn't it? I'd better not disguise myself." Schiller stomped shyly, and when he was about to go back and change back to his original clothes, Navette stopped him.

"This is very good, this is very good! Schiller's grandfather did a great job! Captain, you think so too, right?" Navit said anxiously, looking at Dao Maniac with eyes seeking approval.

"It's very beautiful." This is not the theory of the knife maniac against his will.

Although the appearance of Schiller in front of him hasn't changed much—only the pointed ears of elves have become human ears, but the long hair that has become light blue after being disguised by illusion magic, paired with wine red eyes, and that She is dressed in a white floral dress, but she is full of intoxicating beauty. To be honest, she is probably the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my 40 years of life. Although I know in my heart that the person in front of me is a man, this idea has not changed. .

In addition, the three of them now look like human beings in appearance, which is more convenient for traveling to the human country. If necessary, they can also pretend to be a family trip, Dao Kuan thought so.
